no it does not
you can’t properly defend from side aspect ir missiles (especially r-73) and notch against a radar missile even as a competetive pilot almost any of the times. it may be easier against 9m though
the base skill of competetiveness does not mean god, it means that you know basic air combat, missilery and your usual defenses against missiles
it will happen in WVR and if it turns into a dogfight, at high altitudes one circle aircraft have advantanges, considering the su-30sm is for 1c, with the combination of r-73 it will be able to kill the eurofighter if it turns into a dogfight from wvr
this is from a bvr start. dogfight may go differently if it started at low altitudes, however this is not where the missile comparison is at
this isnt how planes work, its pros/cons the whole way, you cant have 12 missiles and still have the same fm etc

They do, its the box on the radar ranging.
A few are still misisng it like the Skyslugs, but the AMRAAM has it

I mean more they are too easy to defeat with multipathing and chaff
No the issue you said was 120s are the best.
You wouldnt swap 12 R-77-1 for 6 120s?
They Typhoon is limited to 6 120s.
Oh right yeah…
Missile count doesnt come with the missile
If I mostly played ARB and with the current radar issues on the Typhoon usually limiting you to sub 20km ranges anyway. I probably would prefer something like MICA or R-77-1 over the AMRAAM at the moment. Sit defensive, get in close, lay waste.
In ASB, where I have time beat the radar into submission and actually have some semblence of the range needed to make the most of the AMRAAM. Id stick to AMRAAM. Especially being a more defensive player anyway, the little extra range is useful.

BVR is non existant, you can only kill clueless f18 premium low level users.
Ok, let me be clear to everyone still trying to complain about russia, what do you want changed???

Be realistic so I can actually humor you
Limit russian planes to only R-3R and R-3S. Also remove PD filter for them
(/s btw)
Give real counterpart to Russian jet. I want F-22 with AIM-120D same BR as Su-30SM. And F-15SA with 120C-7 same BR. F-15E with APG-82V1 and 120D as well
Maybe even pre production F-35, 2013 is the limit
Man good thing intro dates aren’t a factor in game. Because guess it is specifically a game
I feel like “F-22 with AIM-120D” and pre production F-35 were pretty dead giveaways it was a joke, but alr
I know, but some people unironically would love this idea
I wouldn’t mind the F-15’s soon but they are like 14.3 material, not 14.0
It is. It matches the AIM-120A in long range for dealing with bad players, while having a much better engagement envelope in effective range. The second aspect is far more important than the first.
